Stuffed Teddy Bear

Materials

Brown paper grocery bags

Instructions

What to do
1. Cut out teddy bear shapes from paper bags (two
for each child, one for the front and one for the
back).
2. Color the teddy bear shapes, one for the front of
the bear and one for the back.
3. Crinkle teddy bears, then smooth out (this makes
the paper bag softer and easier to stuff ).
4. Place the two sides together and staple along the
edges, leaving an opening for stuffing.
5. Stuff the bear with shredded newspaper.
6. Finish stapling bear closed.
